摘要:
A method for promoting semiconductor manufacturing yield comprising the following steps and a computer readable medium encoded with a computer program implementing the method is provided. First, a processed layer is inspected to generate an inspected image with defects thereon. Next, the inspected image is aligned to an original design layout information of the processed layer. In addition, the defects are classified according to geometric features of the original design layout information of the processed layer and at least previous one layer and/or at least next one layer.
